Question

I have an problem setting textcolor on some part of a Textview.
The text is defined to have the color white in the layout-xml.
When the user chooses the write answer in the game this method call is triggered:

this.Question = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.layout1Question);    
this.Question.setText(Html.fromHtml("<font color = 'green'>CORRECT: </font>") + this.CurrentQuestion.getFillin());

Here I want the CORRECT -part to show green text while the rest should be white as default.
But the whole text is shown in white. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for any help!

EDIT: It works if I remove the second part, hence:

this.Question.setText(Html.fromHtml("<font color = 'green'>CORRECT: </font>"));

works okay.

Answer 1

Try moving the geFillin() call to fromHtml parameter. May be the string concatenation is casting the Spanned string back to simple string.

this.Question.setText(
       Html.fromHtml("<font color='green'>CORRECT: </font>" + this.CurrentQuestion.getFillin()));
